Gorilla glue

What is the difference between "Super" Gorilla glue and "Regular"? Just more concentrated? Or a different formulation?
I usually run the other direction from much-hyped product, so got to wondering...

From the MSDS --
Gorilla Super Glue
Product description: Ethyl Cyanoacrylate adhesive
It's just another brand of ordinary ol' cyanoacrylate that (probably)
has some minor modifications they can claim credit for. I'd doubt it is
any different functionally than any other, just as their polyurethane
glue isn't fundamentally any different that any of the multitude of
similar others on the market--it's just the brand name and advertising
that made it known.

I heard, but don't know if it's actually factual, that a Nam MASH unit
glued up some some tricky wounds with off the shelf Super Glue as they
had no alternative... and had satisfactory results.
Far as the Gorilla stuff goes, I have no personal experience with it,
but do remember reading it can be un reliable if not fresh.

Maybe you don't do the same things that everybody
else does... It is useful for all sorts of temporary and
lightweight gluing tasks, especially plastic (permanently).
Gorilla Glue isn't for plastic, so it is a good complement to
that. Uncoordinated people and people with little situational
awareness might have trouble with superglue.
Just because it doesn't work for its advertised uses is hardly
meaningful. It does not repair glass, but it's useful for
temporarily fixing things to glass. The surfaces must be
finely sanded or they must be like plastic that can be melted by
the superglue. You can see vapor rising from it that will sting
your eyes. Removing it from glass is easy with a scraper. But it
damages plastic.
Hope that helps...

The non-super stuff is some kind of viscous
liquid that is water activated. Swells, bubbles,
and sticks amazingly well to wood. I've used it
for chair repair, and also repair pews at church.

By the way... Keeping superglue (and probably other glues) in the
refrigerator will make it last infinitely longer than keeping it
at room temperature. I have decades of experience using lots of
superglue. Doesn't hurt to keep it out for one day, but return it
to the refrigerator when not planning to use it. Otherwise you
will end up with a hard unusable bottle of superglue within about
two weeks.

Hmmmm, maybe that would be a great way to glue all the food containers
to the shelves in the fridge. That way the old lady wont keep eating
and getting fatter and fatter!!! :)
Of course, dont tell her I said this, or she'll glue my beer cans to the
shelves!!! :)
